Loved ones did not hear from her at all after December 28 and as concerns got worse, the 16-year-old's family pleaded for the "bubbly" and "funny" teenager to come home, and told MyLondon they feared she could be dead.

But there was huge relief on Tuesday (January 8) after Georgia returned safe and well.

Victoria Anderson, the teenager's auntie, said after Georgia returned home: "Thank you to every single person for your shares and comments [ on social media to raise awareness]. Georgia is now home safe and sound. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your shares and comments.

"I spoke with her briefly and she claims she was in Birmingham. She returned home on her own accord."

Trying to find and contact Georgia, who works as an apprentice at a coffee shop, proved to be difficult for the family, mainly due to them having connections in both London and Leicester, where they are originally from.
